PLEASE NOTE - This framework has now been revised. You can see the latest version here.
Based on parent/carer feedback we have not updated the infographic but are currently considering the development of alternative supporting materials. The infographic below is not suitable to be used as a parent leaflet. If you wish to share this with parents as part of a wider conversation please be aware that it is not based on the most up to date data.
The purpose of this Framework for Practice is to assist decision-making relating to perinatal care and preterm delivery at 26 weeks and 6 days of gestation or less in the United Kingdom.
This framework was developed in collaboration with Bliss, BMFMS, MBRRACE-UK, the NNA, RCOG, RCPCH and Sands.
